Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for computers to connect and use a network service. RADIUS was developed by Livingston Enterprises, Inc., in 1991 as an access server authentication and accounting protocol and later brought into the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards(wikipedia)

Well, then again a bit of introduction about “what is RADIUS ?” and the FreeRADIUS, the most popular OpenSource RADIUS Server :D.

This tutorial based on an existing LDAP Server Configuration ( you can read this post) and it already has 1-2 users on it ( you can read this post again 🙂 ), and this post is explain how-to integrate FreeRADIUS to read and use existing user on LDAP Server.

you can install the FreeRadius server on the same server or on a seperate server ( it’s your choice :p )
